i have always been into hotrods,my first build was a 1934 3 window coupe that i actually had to reverse chop the top because it was originally a lakebed racer and the windshield was only 6" tall. i have owned and built too many to list or remember,but i will give you a short list.49 merc sled,54 chevy with a mild 327 and bw t-10 to a 59 ford 9" rear,a 39 chevy coupe mild straight 6 with split manifold and dual smithies,57 chevy hardtop with a 389 poncho [my first automatic] 53 henry j [with a trunk] and a buick v6 to a saginaw 4 speed from a camaro and a blazer rear axle.
i guess growing up in the 60's i was bitten by the american graffitti bug and they say there is no cure [not that i want one].the car i am working on now is a 36 plymouth sedan and i am going retro in styling. i am starting with a sbc 305 with the 700r4 to a narrowed 73 ranchero 9" ford which came with the big brg's and was originally motivated by a 351 cleveland. i am reverting to a v-belt setup,holley avenger to an edelbrock intake,oldsmobile rocket valve covers and caddy batwing aircleaner for a start,not much yet but a step above a ratrod.
thank you for letting me ramble.
